Hi, I'm curious how Linux distro installers should go about supporting the increasingly common case of Bitlocker enabled by default. Is the Bitlocker format similar to LUKS in that the ciphertext volume size is inferred from the underlying partition size? I see in bitlkDump results of a Bitlocker volume there's no apparent reference to its size so I'm thinking it might be conceptually the same as LUKS, in which case the installer workflow would be the same as LUKS. I know that cryptsetup doesn't support modifying a Bitlocker header, but maybe it's not necessary? pseudocode: cryptsetup open /dev/ $name ntfsresize --size $size /dev/mapper/$name cryptsetup close $name libfdisk/parted (resize the partition, create a new one in free space, etc) Thanks, -- Chris Murphy
